It does. Fantastic claims require fantastic evidence to support them.
The hearings, the warnings?. They were allowing the violating of the rights of their students, but they refused to accept that... There was no middle ground. They were warned......
Ignoring this does FIGURE

You apparently find this administration's claims credible. I do not.

Yes, assumed guilt appears to be the new normal.
Assumed guilt? Whose? These universities are complying, instead of going to court. So what can be assumed is why they don't defend their allowance of the intimidation and threats to their students?

No middle ground here. The universities allowed it, and thought it was ok to do so. It was not.
It is OK to protest Israeli policy. It is also OK to protest our policy on Israel. None of that is antisemitism.

I'm not going to litigate this with you in this forum. The administration presumes guilt, the courts presume innocence, the university has its own reasoning.

The university is paying up......No need for litigation by their own means, their own choice...Geesh. And yes they do have their own reason for nobody to litigate this. Spin the wheels.....

Yes, hence the foolishness in presuming guilt based on payment.

Wisdom is not to be found in acceding to the wishes of this administration. The law firms who capitulated and now face further demands can attest to the true cost.
So is Columbia University guilty of anti-semitism?

I'm fairly certain antisemitism is something done by people, not institutions. If you are asking if the administrators did not do enough to stop antisemitism, I would say they could of done better. I would also say the way the Trump admin handled this was horrific, likely illegal, and the school should never of negotiated based on the way they were targeted.

Seems unlikely for a University with about 25% of their undergraduates being Jewish.
But the anti-Semitic did take over the library and even janitors settled lawsuits, right?
